PLEDGE

• Have fun! We want you to enjoy your time with us and your time in nature. Help us make this an amazing experience.

• Stay with the group. Listen carefully when the group leaders give instructions about sticking with the group or sticking with an assigned partner.

• Respect for each other. Our goal is to offer a safe space for everyone participating. We pledge to put forth our best selves when we show up for the program.

• Respect nature. During our program we might be in contact with animals or plants. For your own safety, be mindful of potential dangers and don't assume you can touch everything. Always ask first.

• Respect the rights of other park visitors and animals that live in the park to a pleasant and peaceful environment. Excessive noise or throwing things is extremely stressful to the animals that call the park home.

• Dress for the weather. It can always rain in Seattle. Come prepared for rain and cold weather. Try to dress in layers so you can add and subtract, as necessary. Don’t forget your rain jacket, and shoes appropriate for the weather.

• Protect the forest. Please place trash where it belongs, in either trash receptacles or recycling. Trash and recycling receptacles are available throughout the park.

• Connect to nature. Let’s be present for each other during our program and limit the use of smartphones, tablets and electronic devices as much as possible. There will be specific times when we will need electronic devices for the program.
